Understanding and modeling baseline driving safety risk in dense urban areas represents a crucial starting point for automated driving system (ADS) safety impact analysis. The purpose of this study was to leverage naturalistic vulnerable road user (VRU) collision data to quantify collision rates, crash severity, and injury risk distributions in the absence of objective injury outcome data.
